Ailey Camp [final]

"I Been 'Buked"

The final performance of AileyCamp was last Thursday, August 4. It was a truly inspiring night, the kids danced so incredibly. The above was my favorite shot of the night, taken from the opening number. For the whole photo essay, including a lot of shots from that night, click for my SFGate piece

A Perfect Circle

A Perfect Circle

The last week of July was a musical one, I shot my third concert Saturday, July 30 - A Perfect Circle at the Greek. It was probably the worst lighting situation I have ever found myself in, and our two song limit counted their opener, which was probably 1 minute total. I got a couple decent shots (the one time I don't bring my mid range...lesson learned).

Reggae Risin'

The Greek Theater, Berkeley


The Seedless Summer Tour made a stop in Berkeley at the Greek Theatre on July 29. And how could it not? Reggae music and lots of pot, the show was made for an outdoor venue in Berkeley. Shwayze and Cisco opened first, an unexpected surprise (I signed up to shoot for Slightly Stoopid), followed by Rebelution, and then Slightly Stoopid. It was a fun event to shoot, although it would have been even more fun as a participant. 



His Kinda Party



I shot Jason Aldean at the Shoreline on July 27. I spent about 2 hours driving to the venue (traffic and an accident, also, why on a workday?) but the show was good. For the full gallery, click for the SFGate page.
